Last night saw the Club attend an interview with the Sheffield & Hallamshire County Senior League to put plans in place for a new Reserves side in Division Two, which will give our Under 21 and Under 19 players the chance of playing regular Saturday afternoon football.

02/05/2022 - Weekend Success
There were celebrations for the First and the Under 19 teams over the bank holiday weekend.
On Saturday the first team won promotion to the CSL Premier Division after beating Denaby Main 3-1. They matched their efforts from 2020 which also saw promotion after a win over Denaby by two goals, only for a national lockdown due to covid causing the season to be abandoned. Amazingly Brad Kerr scored two in both games. The First Team can now go into their final three league matches aiming for their next target - the league title. Seven points from the nine available will guarantee them to lift the trophy. Current leaders Handsworth can complete their season with 65 points if they win at AFC Dronfield on Saturday 7th May, while The Wellers can amass 68 points.
The Under 19s have progressed to the semi-finals of the Meadowhall League Cup after beating Sheffield South U21s by a single goal by Lewis Easterbrook away from home. They will now face a strong Millmoor Juniors U21 side at the Recreation Ground on Sunday 8th May.

Frickley Athletic, who our hosts groundshare with, made the request Friday morning after they discovered some damage to one of the stands and a waterlogged pitch with more rain forecast.
The game will be re-arranged for later in the season, and will likely be mid-week.
17/02/22 - U21 Game Postponed (vs Thorncliffe)
Tonight's final U21 league game, against Thorncliffe at the Recreation Ground, has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
The game was put into doubt yesterday when the heavy rain started and continuing rainfall over night has made the pitch unplayable.
EDIT: The final league fixture has been re-arranged with two of our mini-shield league cup matches also changing date.
Please check on social media with regards to whether our first team fixture away at South Elmsall United Services or our Under 19 game at Hillsborough Pumas will also be affected by the weather this weekend.

11/02/22 - Last Man Standing
Firstly, we would like to offer our praise and thanks to Chad Thomas for running the Last Man Standing competition on behalf of Wombwell Town Football Club over the past three years.
The current game with the jackpot of £53,010 is growing ever closer to its conclusion and the Club would like to announce that the game will continue without Chad at the helm.
Whilst we understand some people will be moving onto Chad’s new Sports GamerPro App, the Club would welcome entrants to take part in the next Last Man Standing, for the same entry price and the current rules.
By joining the new WTFC LMS group you are not obliged to play, and may leave and re-join again in the future.

06/02/22 - Third Choice Kit Reveal
Yesterday's copy of The Wellers Official Matchday Programme gave supporters a first look at the new third choice kit, which will be supplied by league sponsors EV2 Sportswear.
The Club won the kit on Christmas Eve thanks to physio Nicole Norton entering their online competition via twitter. Local Lockie - Barnsley Locksmith enquired to be our shirt sponsor and chose the colour and design of the kit with the help of his son.
Mental health charity Andy's Man Club were delighted to hear that the club chose them to appear on the back of the shirt, having recently been a match sponsor earlier in the season ahead of their new meeting place opening in Barnsley.
The new kit will arrive before the end of the season and might be used by the U19s or U21s in their end of season cup matches.

31/01/22 - Tackling Racism & Discrimination
Wombwell Town Football Club would like to thank Kick It Out for their swift response to an issue of racism brought to our attention at the weekend.
During one of the matches the club played over the weekend of Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th January some comments were made towards one of our players regarding their race. This was reported to Kick It Out on Sunday evening and this morning (Monday 31st Jan) they acted to make sure the player was OK and to tell us that they are in communication with our County FA, Sheffield & Hallamshire.
It would appear the spectators at the game were not there to support either side, and chose the game as a way to express their unwanted views in a hateful and hurtful manner.
Racism & Discrimination will not be tolerated.
